Thursday, March 3, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Power Yoga for Every Body, "Good Morning Extended", Intermediate level. Hip openers, sun salutation, standing poses, savasana. 45 minutes and just right.

Quick shovelglove this morning. Later I may either walk the dog or bike on the recumbent in the basement, it will depend on the weather and the state of the sidewalks ...

[semielliptical]

Yoga first thing in the morning! 30 minutes.

[vass]

Water aerobics for the first time since rib injury. It was still a bit ouch. The instructor kept telling us to do twisting things that, on reflection, I probably shouldn't have done. I'll see how I am tomorrow.

Ouch. Have I mentioned arnica salve or comfrey oil? Either is good for helping speed recovery from things that on reflection one probably shouldn't have done.

*is currently applying comfrey oil to cranky finger tendons a lot*

[rydra_wong]

Working on resting. Assorted bits of yoga.

[willful_zephyr]

Ashtanga Primary series... at Home! Got about a 1/4 way through the seated sequence before I was interrupted. Was still a good workout.

Crossfit was all about the squats last night. To supplement I walked to and from the gym, and did 30 butterfly situps after class.

Dance class plus hauling furniture. Took a 2 day break from exercising after this.
